WELDING GUIDE
Previous editions of the manual cease to be valid on publication of this edition of Böhler’s manual „Information for Welders“. Particulars regarding the appearance and use of our products serve as information for the user. Details of the mechanical properties always refer to the pure weld metal in accordance with the applicable standards. The parent metal, the welding position and the welding parameters amongst other things affect the weld metal properties in the welded joint. Express written agreement is required in each individual case as a guarantee of suitability for a specific purpose.

Preface
BÖHLER WELDING – Your Partner for Welding “Our customers' problems are our problems too” is the basic principle at BÖHLER WELDING. More than 80 years of experience gathered by the company in over 70 different countries has proved beyond doubt that, in practice, the quality of the welding is decisive. When extreme temperatures, maximum strength requirements, exceptional resistance to corrosion or the highest possible working speed become the critical factors, adaptable know-how is essential. We pay close attention to all the issues relevant for successful welding - materials, application, welding additives - and cooperate with customers in developing the solution most favourable for them. Nothing is too much trouble for us in our pursuit of optimal welding results for our customers. Even in the Antarctic or the deserts of Africa, we provide our customers with product information, training courses and welding demonstrations. When it comes to welding, only the best can satisfy us. That is why we collaborate in product development with universities and research institutes which have the necessary equipment and personnel for performing the simulations and measurements we require (for example with scanning electron microscopes or high-speed cameras). At BÖHLER WELDING it's results that count.
